In 2014, Moffatt became a regular cast member on the Channel 4 reality TV show Gogglebox alongside her parents Mark and Betty, making their debut in the third series in March 2014. Scarlett's younger sister Ava-Grace joined the family on the sofa during the seventh series; her then boyfriend Luke Crodden first appeared in the eighth series.

On 8 January 2017, it was announced that Channel 4 would be reviving dating show Streetmate with Moffatt as the presenter. "I can't believe Channel 4 have asked me to present this iconic show. I remember watching Davina McCall on Streetmate when I was younger and thinking, 'Females can present entertainment shows too. I want to do that when I'm older. It's such a fun show and it's two of my favourite things to do, chat to randomers and a love story."[7] In January 2017, she was the backstage presenter for the National Television Awards.[8]

On 9 January 2017, it was announced that Moffatt would be joining Ant & Dec on Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway. "I've watched Saturday Night Takeaway with my family for as long as I can remember, I'm such a huge fan, so to be part of one of the biggest entertainment shows out there, with two of my all-time TV heroes Ant and Dec, is an absolute dream." Moffatt said in a statement.[9] On 19 November 2019 she was dropped from her role as co-presenter.[10]

In 2022, Moffatt appeared alongside six other celebrities including Monty Panesar and Nick Hewer in the BBC television show Pilgrimage.[14] In it, Moffatt and her fellow celebrities walked the route taken by Saint Columba from North Western Ireland to the Island of Iona in Scotland as he brought the Christian faith onto the UK mainland in the late 6th century AD. During the programme, she spoke of her Christian faith and how it helps her in her life.[15]
